The Story of KLogs: What happens when an Mechanical Engineer codes

Since i no longer work at Wearhouse Automation Startup (WAS for short) and havnt for many years i feel as though i should recount the tale of the most bonkers program i ever wrote, but we need to establish some background

WAS has its HQ very far away from the big customer site and i worked as a Field Service Engineer (FSE) on site. so i learned early on that if a problem needed to be solved fast, WE had to do it. we never got many updates on what was coming down the pipeline for us or what issues were being worked on. this made us very independent

As such, we got good at reading the robot logs ourselves. it took too much time to send the logs off to HQ for analysis and get back what the problem was. we can read. now GETTING the logs is another thing.

the early robots we cut our teeth on used 2.4 gHz wifi to communicate with FSE's so dumping the logs was as simple as pushing a button in a little application and it would spit out a txt file

later on our robots were upgraded to use a 2.4 mHz xbee radio to communicate with us. which was FUCKING SLOW. and log dumping became a much more tedious process. you had to connect, go to logging mode, and then the robot would vomit all the logs in the past 2 min OR the entirety of its memory bank (only 2 options) into a terminal window. you would then save the terminal window and open it in a text editor to read them. it could take up to 5 min to dump the entire log file and if you didnt dump fast enough, the ACK messages from the control server would fill up the logs and erase the error as the memory overwrote itself.

this missing logs problem was a Big Deal for software who now weren't getting every log from every error so a NEW method of saving logs was devised: the robot would just vomit the log data in real time over a DIFFERENT radio and we would save it to a KQL server. Thanks Daddy Microsoft.

now whats KQL you may be asking. why, its Microsofts very own SQL clone! its Kusto Query Language. never mind that the system uses a SQL database for daily operations. lets use this proprietary Microsoft thing because they are paying us

so yay, problem solved. we now never miss the logs. so how do we read them if they are split up line by line in a database? why with a query of course!

select * from tbLogs where RobotUID = [64CharLongString] and timestamp > [UnixTimeCode]

if this makes no sense to you, CONGRATULATIONS! you found the problem with this setup. Most FSE's were BAD at SQL which meant they didnt read logs anymore. If you do understand what the query is, CONGRATULATIONS! you see why this is Very Stupid.

You could not search by robot name. each robot had some arbitrarily assigned 64 character long string as an identifier and the timestamps were not set to local time. so you had run a lookup query to find the right name and do some time zone math to figure out what part of the logs to read. oh yeah and you had to download KQL to view them. so now we had both SQL and KQL on our computers

NOBODY in the field like this.

But Daddy Microsoft comes to the rescue

see we didnt JUST get KQL with part of that deal. we got the entire Microsoft cloud suite. and some people (like me) had been automating emails and stuff with Power Automate

This is Microsoft Power Automate. its Microsoft's version of Scratch but it has hooks into everything Microsoft. SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Excel, it can integrate with all of it. i had been using it to send an email once a day with a list of all the robots in maintenance.

this gave me an idea

and i checked

and Power Automate had hooks for KQL

KLogs is actually short for Kusto Logs

I did not know how to program in Power Automate but damn it anything is better then writing KQL queries. so i got to work. and about 2 months later i had a BEHEMOTH of a Power Automate program. it lagged the webpage and many times when i tried to edit something my changes wouldn't take and i would have to click in very specific ways to ensure none of my variables were getting nuked. i dont think this was the intended purpose of Power Automate but this is what it did

the KLogger would watch a list of Teams chats and when someone typed "klogs" or pasted a copy of an ERROR mesage, it would spring into action.

it extracted the robot name from the message and timestamp from teams

it would lookup the name in the database to find the 64 long string UID and the location that robot was assigned too

it would reply to the message in teams saying it found a robot name and was getting logs

it would run a KQL query for the database and get the control system logs then export then into a CSV

it would save the CSV with the a .xls extension into a folder in ShairPoint (it would make a new folder for each day and location if it didnt have one already)

it would send ANOTHER message in teams with a LINK to the file in SharePoint

it would then enter a loop and scour the robot logs looking for the keyword ESTOP to find the error. (it did this because Kusto was SLOWER then the xbee radio and had up to a 10 min delay on syncing)

if it found the error, it would adjust its start and end timestamps to capture it and export the robot logs book-ended from the event by ~ 1 min. if it didnt, it would use the timestamp from when it was triggered +/- 5 min

it saved THOSE logs to SharePoint the same way as before

it would send ANOTHER message in teams with a link to the files

it would then check if the error was 1 of 3 very specific type of error with the camera. if it was it extracted the base64 jpg image saved in KQL as a byte array, do the math to convert it, and save that as a jpg in SharePoint (and link it of course)

and then it would terminate. and if it encountered an error anywhere in all of this, i had logic where it would spit back an error message in Teams as plaintext explaining what step failed and the program would close gracefully

I deployed it without asking anyone at one of the sites that was struggling. i just pointed it at their chat and turned it on. it had a bit of a rocky start (spammed chat) but man did the FSE's LOVE IT.

about 6 months later software deployed their answer to reading the logs: a webpage that acted as a nice GUI to the KQL database. much better then an CSV file

it still needed you to scroll though a big drop-down of robot names and enter a timestamp, but i noticed something. all that did was just change part of the URL and refresh the webpage

SO I MADE KLOGS 2 AND HAD IT GENERATE THE URL FOR YOU AND REPLY TO YOUR MESSAGE WITH IT. (it also still did the control server and jpg stuff). Theres a non-zero chance that klogs was still in use long after i left that job

now i dont recommend anyone use power automate like this. its clunky and weird. i had to make a variable called "Carrage Return" which was a blank text box that i pressed enter one time in because it was incapable of understanding /n or generating a new line in any capacity OTHER then this (thanks support forum).

im also sure this probably is giving the actual programmer people anxiety. imagine working at a company and then some rando you've never seen but only heard about as "the FSE whos really good at root causing stuff", in a department that does not do any coding, managed to, in their spare time, build and release and entire workflow piggybacking on your work without any oversight, code review, or permission.....and everyone liked it

About: Part 6

HEADCANONS: part 1

Aoba wears Koujaku’s clothes constantly because he doesn’t use half of his closet anyway since he usually wears a kimono

Koujaku usually speaks politely without using bad words. But when he gets angry he starts using swear words and even changes his accent.

He smokes weed 👍

Aoba does Ren’s maintenance on his own so he knows enough about technology and robotics to do so. Just like Noiz would be an expert in the software field, Aoba would be pretty handy in the hardware field, he can fix a lot of things and he’d probably take care of plumbing and electrical work around the house, plus he can pick up different parts he needs at work. On the other hand, Koujaku is not good with technology at all, he’s the homely and country type of man, he never had much contact with tech and even though he knows the basics (especially related to his business) he prefers to leave Beni’s maintenance to Aoba. Before that he would probably take Beni to a maintenance shop but that’s what boyfriends are for.

Benishigure usually meet up weekly at Mizuki’s bar, and I think it would be cool if they played card and board games together as well. Benishigure hates playing certain games with their boss because he always gets kinda intense. Sly at some point starts joining to play against him as a challenge, his competitive ass could not ignore it, and they’d end up being the last ones at the table playing for hours until Mizuki had to kick them out.

Koujaku always cuts and dyes Tae’s hair. He compliments her hair and tells Aoba how to do it so he can learn and take care of his granny too. Tae suggests that he’s so good that maybe he could cut Aoba’s hair without it hurting, as a joke, to which of course Aoba refuses and is embarrassed. But deep down we all know Koujaku was dying to do it.

I sometimes think of Beast Koujaku as a somewhat more rational entity than we are shown. Meaning he might gain his consciousness back at times, very slightly, in a way that affects his behavior just enough while still being in his Beast form, periods of time where he would almost turn back into a human, and Sly just has to say some magic words to turn him back. I like seeing Koujaku as a rabid dog in the bad ending, but since we’ve seen that he can actually think and choose what to do to a certain extent, such as choosing not to kill Sly or what to do to him in his captivity, it would be a useful way to explore this ending a bit more, and even taking into account how Sly feels about Koujaku and what he believes is right, I wonder what he would think when he sees Beast Koujaku acting “weird”. I wonder if it would affect him emotionally, because he is sincere when he says he loves him, and maybe seeing Beast Koujaku reject him or something like that means or makes him feel that he’s not loved. Because remember that even if he destroyed his body, what Sly wanted was for Koujaku to stay with him.

Koujaku for some reason seems to have a way with real, living birds. He whistles, trying to imitate their singing, and sometimes he’d do it in front of Aoba, even though he’s a bit embarrassed. It’s something he’d do as a child, playing with the birds that came near him back in the mountain. Maybe he would have a birdhouse hanging on his balcony/window. I mean, look at the cover of the Drama CD.

Koujaku is a village boy. He likes the mountains, has a direct connection with nature through birds, appreciates the little details and the slow pace of rural life. He has a gift for people and his taste for the traditional, despite that rebellious attitude as a young man that would make you think otherwise, is a reflection. I think that sometimes people have an image of him much more as a city boy because he usually goes out with people and is more used to parties in pubs and clubs, which is pretty much the opposite of the image of a village. (old man koujaku propaganda)

He appreciates buying and supporting handcrafted and artisanal products from locals. But he doesn’t take the time or had ever thought of doing it himself, since he always goes out for drinks with his group and friends, and frequently visits Aoba where he stays to eat and sleep. I think that once he dates Aoba, he has more time for himself. Due to his healing process he’s also giving himself that space, and spends a lot of it with Aoba, in peace. That’s why I think he now has a much more domestic life, much more in line with what he personally likes and fulfills him. I think he might even want to try to make handcrafted things, replicating the artisans he likes (probably failing miserably but who knows). At least he really tries hard when it comes to food, especially to give it to Aoba, because if he perceives Aoba’s love in his food, he wants Aoba to perceive his love in his.

Regarding the same home cooking theme, I don’t think he’s particularly good at cooking anyway, especially when he wasn’t used to do it often, always eating Tae’s or Aoba’s food, or something he bought outside. However, now that he has a more stable life, domestic and family-oriented, I think he would dedicate to cooking more often and I imagine him constantly looking at a recipe book so he doesn’t get lost. (rectangular cute red glasses propaganda)

Koujaku should mansplain and drop random historical facts about things he likes, like a recipe they’re cooking, and tell the origin of the dish. He also drops insane lore about himself like “that one time he did coke on a private party his father threw and got pressed to do it so everyone could laugh at the kid” to which Aoba looks at him horrified and Koujaku just brushes it off like it’s nothing.

I think sometimes when Koujaku and Aoba start to make out, if Beni and Ren are still awake, with Beni curled up on top of his head, he would spread his wings covering his eyes and tell him not to look. But Ren, who just wants to give them privacy and tries to leave, now that his eyes are covered he keeps crashing into walls and furniture. At some point in his life I think Beni would never get off Ren’s fur again.

Aoba doesn’t lose feeling in his hair completely, and Koujaku realizes that the tickling sensations he feels when he touches Aoba’s hair are more than just tickling, so from then on he would touch Aoba’s hair to take advantage of it as an “erogenous zone”. Maybe one day Koujaku is braiding Aoba’s hair and doing it carefully takes longer, but it also exposes Aoba to his touch for longer, so the sensations would make him start to feel nervous and fidget in place, which at first Koujaku would find strange and wonder if he is hurting Aoba, but then he realizes what’s actually going on.

He’s the type to indulge in gardening.

When they fuck in the Drama CD Aoba is worried that people in the next room might hear him, and lets be fr they did hear them. When they get out the next morning their room neighbors also come out and they have an uncomfortable exchange of looks. The neighbors are kinda uncomfy because they know it was them and then they see its two men and they exchange looks like “It’s them”, whispering to each other. Koujaku is facing them realizing the situation and apologizes. Of course Aoba is dead embarrassed and low key tries to hide behind Koujaku.
